Research in certification www.bbfc.co.uk

Certification is important because it gives the conformation to a person, object and organization.

According to BBFC Certifiication is:

"In order to protect children from unsuitable and even harmful content in films and videos and to give consumers information they might need about a particular film or video before deciding whether or not to view it, the BBFC examines and age rates films and videos before they are released. This independent scrutiny prior to release ensures the highest possible level of protection and empowerment."

There are a following you see in films:

Universal. This means that anyone of any age can watch this film with this certificate.

 Parental Guidance -PG- Meaning that anyone can watch this film. However children under the age of 8, parents might consider watching this film with their children.

12. Meaning any persons over the age of 12 can watch this film.

12A rated films to be suitable for children aged 12 as long as they are accompanied by an adult. Children under the age of 12 are seemed unsuitable to watch this film.  

The 15 rated film means that the film is not suitable for those younger than the age of 15. Film with this rating may contain drug use, moderate strong violence, strong words, adult themes/ sex references. 

The 18 rated film means that the film  can not be viewed by any person under the age of 18. This film has no limit on the strong words used. Hard drugs are generally used, strong violence/ sex refrences and sexual activity can be used. 

Definition of 'Shock'

An example of Shock was in the opening scene of the film 'Children of Men'.

The opening scene we see a crowd being formed around a TV in a coffee shop, where we learn that the youngest person on Earth had died. We follow a young man out of the coffee shop, then we hear a sudden explosion and see the remains of what was the coffee shop. Here after we see a woman leave the coffee shop clutching a severed arm. This scene had shock because as an audience we weren't expecting the explosion. 

Storyboard

This is myself and my partners storyboard this gives us an outline of what our short thriller opening sequence will look like. We were able to discuss what should be present in each section and the different sounds and the duration for each frame. 

Mood Board

This is the mood board that I created on Glogster. It has different conventions of a thriller and different aspects which will be present in our thriller. 

Definition of 'Suspense'

Suspense is a convention used throughout a variety of different film genres, however it is more apparent  in thrillers.

We looked at several films including Sabotage (1936).
In this film there was a particular scene in the film which displayed a real definition of suspense in motion.



When Stevie had a package that needed to be delivered believing it was film canister but it was actually carrying a timed bomb for Verloc. We as an audience realize what really is in the package, but Stevie had no idea. Therefore he allowed him to be distracted along his route, thus delaying his journey. When he finally does enter the bus to deliver the packaging, he was too late, and the bomb detonated. This short scene had created suspense as we don't know when the bomb would be detonated, it could have had happened anywhere. In addition when Stevie was caught in the street commotion, delaying his journey, we as the audience were hoping that Stevie would hurry along.

Key Genre Conventions: Tension Suspense Mystery Action Thriller Violence

Studio Idents

Previously, we discovered Studio Idents.
Studio Idents are the first motion picture you see when watching a film. They enable you to identify the production company involved in the producing and the funding of the particular film. 

Production company's- "The Big Six"

Paramount pictures

The logo originally had twenty-four 
stars, as a tribute to the then actors, since Paramount had twenty-four stars signed at the time.In 1974 the logo was simplified, adopting the design of the then-current television version, and the number of stars was changed to twenty-two; this version of the logo is still in use as Paramount's current print logo.

Columbia Pictures

The current logo was created in 1992, when the logo was repainted digitally by Michael Deas, who was hired to return the lady to her "classic" look. He used Jenny Joseph,  but used a composite for the face. Resulting to the resemblance to Dorothy Kilgallen. The animation, created by Synthespian Studios which starts with a bright light, which zooms out to reveal the torch and then the lady. The duo used 2D elements from the painting and converted it to 3D.

Warner Bros. Pictures

The WB studio Ident is written on a shield with the initial WB and WARNER BROS TELEVISION written across it. The logo ripples and we see houses or factories inside the logo before we are introduced with the well known tune and logo. 



Universal

The universal logo has the Earth in a dark, starry background and the title UNIVERSAL written across it. In motion, we see the Earth orbiting on its axis and we see lights coming through all the countries of the Earth, followed swiftly by the word UNIVERSAL coming through from right to left. 

20th Century Fox

The 20th Century Fox ident is first recognized by the catchy drum and trumpet tune. Then it follows with the '20th Century Fox' logo written in gold. We are taken from behind the logo to the front and where we notice the 'Hollywood' sign cleverly hidden behind it.






Walt Disney

Walt Disney famous ident we see a blue, starry and cloudy sky and as we progress downwards we are introduced to the river, which lies behind the castle. Fireworks are seen around the castle and as we zoom out we see the words Walt Disney Pictures written across the screen. 


With all these idents in consideration, I have come to ideas for the appropriate ident for our (Mine and Sveta) production company. It definitely has certain rules to follow in regards to brightness and sound.
